eSports fascinates over 380 million viewers around the world. It boasts prize money in the millions and has been a significant component of youth culture for some time now. Nevertheless, little is known about this exciting field from a scientific perspective. This is why the German Sport University Cologne is tackling this unique phenomenon with the eSports Project.
Be one step ahead of your opponents from now on thanks to reliable, scientific findings. As a participant, you will be making a considerable contribution to the further development of research and, at the same time, profit from the results regarding your performance.
Already last year, the first eSport Study 2019 provided a comprehensive picture of health behaviour in eSports. This year’s survey focused on the topics “well-being” and “recovery”, on which we interviewed over 1200 eSports amateurs and professionals. The findings of the survey were presented at a press conference on February 12th.
With Germany’s first eSport performance test, we have measured eSport-professionals, eSport-amateurs and sportsmen in selected skills relevant for eSport. In approximately 200 hours of testing, about 3000 datafiles were collected. Exciting results can be observed in the group comparisons. Based on these results, we will give initial training recommendations.
